Marchman: Get Zito

If Zito
puts up a season in line with the worst he's ever had, he'll still be
one of the 50 best pitchers in baseball, or a solid no. 2 starter.
That's not a bad downside. Pitchers whose absolute upside is as a no. 3
starter are getting $11 million a year these days ... The Mets really ought to sign
him, not so much because they need the help â€” their rotation was pretty
bad this year, and they were fine â€” but because Glavine's pretty old
and because they have the money. Zito might not throw hard, he might
walk too many batters, and he might not even be much better than
SteveTrachsel per inning. It doesn't really matter. It's what you do
and what you're worth, not how and why, that count â€” doubtless the
message a gleeful Boras will be pounding home to the executives of five
teams this weekend.

Dontrelle Willis was arrested for suspicion of drunk driving yesterday after urinating in the street at 4:30 am. I'll never understand how athletes and stars keep getting DUIs. Don't they make enough money to hire a chauffeur?

In weird news, Metsblog's Matt Cerrone says Vito from the Sopranos sent him a "scathing email" last August.
